Maria Grazia Chiuri chose the Musée Rodin as the backdrop for her first haute couture collection for Dior, transforming it into an enchanted forest to showcase her poetic and bohemian silhouettes. When models’ faces weren’t completely covered by Stephen Jones’ striking black insect masks, Dior’s creative image and make-up director Peter Philips celebrated the different facets of female beauty with the fashion house’s lucky charm: the star. Placed in the corner of the eyes for a touch of grunge, on the bottom lid for a little romance or in constellations fanning out across the cheekbones for a dreamlike effect, they certainly heightened the show’s overall ethereal look. Guido Palau put the finishing touches to the phantasmagoric styling with relaxed braids, or left hair loose in soft, bouncy curls and adorned with feathers and oversized flowers.

Inside the August issue

“Since its very first days, it has been in the DNA of Vogue Paris to set or capture and enhance the most significant trends of the time. But when you think that more than half of France has a pet, in this case trend becomes social phenomenon,” writes Emmanuelle Alt, editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris in her August 2017 editorial.
